CIVIL SERVICE CHANGES.
THE COMMISSION AMENDS FOUR
OF THE RULES.

The Principle of Compulsory Competi-
tive Examination for Promotion to
be Applied to the Classified Service
Old Evils Still in Force Except in
New York.
WASHINGTON, May 5.-The Civil Service
Commission to-day submitted to the Presi-
dent certain proposed amendments of rules
4, 6, 10 and 21 of the rules for the regulation
and improvement of the executive civil
service
All of the proposed amendments were ap-
proved and became at once effective. The
most important of the amendments was the
following:
RULE 6.--CfauSe 9. And for the purpose
of establishing in the classified service the
principle of compulsory competitive eXami-
nation for promotion, there shall be,
so far as practicable and useful,
such examination of suitable character
to test the fitness of persons for promotion
in the service, and the commission may
make regulations applying them to any
classified department., customs office or post
Office under which regulations examina-
tions for promotion shall be conducted
and all promotions made, but until
the regulations made by the commission in
accordance herewith have been applied to a
classified department, customs Office or post
office promotions therein may be made upon
any test of fitness determined upon by the
promoting officer. And in any classified de-
partment, customs Office or post office in
which promotions are made under examine
tions as herein provided, the commission
may in special cases, if the exigencies of the
service require such action, provide non
competitive examinations for promotion.
THE EVIL STILL IN FORCE.
In letter to the President, transmitting
the amendment, the commission says: "Ex-
cept in the customs district of New York
all the evils resulting from the promotion
system invoked when the civil service law
was enacted continue to exist. Indeed that
system is still in force Under it solicita-
ton may secure advancement of stupidity
and laziness over intelligence and industry
personal partly confer favors upon unworthi-
ness, prejudice retards the advancement of
merit and partisanship rewards or Furnishes
political action or opinion"
THE FIRST APPLICATION.
Tomorrow these regulations will be ap-
piled to the War Department, and after
they have been tried in that department, if
found satisfactory to the commission, they
will be applied to the Treasury Department
and later to all of the other departments of
the government The adoption of these
regulations is regarded as the most inn
portant action that has been taken by the
commission since the civil service rules
were adopted. Commissioner Oberly was
charged with their preparation and has de
voted much time and attention to the task

VIRGINIA'S DEBT.
The State Unwilling to Accept the
Terms offered

RICHMOND, VA, May 5.-The Legislative
representatives on the debt commission to-
day submitted preliminary report to the
General Assembly of the progress of nego-
tiations. Various conferences held devel-
oped the fact that the council for the for
eign hondholders influence majority of the
consol and 10 per cent. bonds of Virginia,
and that any agreement made with their
commissioners will be accepted by the bond
holders, and thus forever settle the debt
question.
No agreement has yet been arrived at,
because the demands Of the English commits
sioners were such that they could not
be considered, the amount required to
meet them being greatly in excess Of
the net revenues of the State, and the
committee felt compelled to make for
NAL declaration that, upon the basis de
manded by the English, it would be inn
proper for the present negotiations to pro-
ceed further. The foreign representatives
asked for time to communicate by cable
with their principals. This was granted,

AN APPEAL TO THE CODE.
A Mexican Ball Room Scandal Follow
ed by Challenges.

ST. Louis, May 5-A special from the
City of Mexico says: "Senor Vercero
Armesto is the name of the Spanish Minis
ter who cuts such prominent figure in the
prospective duel He has been Minister to
Mexico one year. He escorted Miss Bazaine
to ball Saturday night and feels that he
must fight to protect her good name Senor
Noreiga, the offender, has determined to
Jay the trouble before the Spanish govern
ment, and Is collecting material to
take to Madrid, with a view to have the
Minister recalled. The trouble at the ball
is only one of a series of grievances, Senior
Noriega's friends claim. They cite particu-
larly the Minister'S course in introducing
the bull fighter Mazzantim in Mexican So
cial circles and making him social lion as
an imposition on Mexican hospitality. An
attempt is being made to have the Minister
expelled from the club. In the meantime the
Englishman Baron is impaiently awaiting
for Senior Noreiga to challenge, as he
slapped the Spaniard in the Casino ball
room when the latter accused him of undue
liberties with Miss Bazaine. Senior Noreiga
was on the reception committee, and his
caution to Mr.. Baron about his style of
dancing is defended on the score of his Off
cial position. Sympathy is expressed for
Miss BaZaine on account of the notoriety
she has received from the affair."
